Produce Certified Lowline Beef

What is Certified Lowline Beef?

Certified Lowline Beef (CLB) is a term used by Australian Lowline cattle producers who have entered into an agreement with the Australian Lowline Cattle Association (ALCA) to promote their beef. Eligibility to join the programme and market your beef as Certified Lowline Beef is determined by the signing of and adherence to the CLB Producers Agreement.
To enter into an agreement, producers must be current members of ALCA and their beef must be able to betraceable by DNA and parent verification processes. This provides a guarantee of quality for the consumer and a product management tool (to help identify the best beef producing genetics) for producer.

What are the benefits of becoming a Certified Lowline Beef producer?

By signing a Producers Agreement you are provided with an ideal opportunity to network with other CLB members and advertise via the ALCA website. CLB producers also are able to use the trademarked logo and other advertising materials. In today’s world, there are many avenues and opportunities for the smaller producer to enter the beef industry. The programme is ideal for this but also caters for the larger commercial producer who is using registered Lowline bulls in their breeding programme. The Lowline bull not only solves problem calving and frame size issues but improves carcase traits – all of which are factors impacting profit margins in the cattle industry today.
